The article was 90% misleading bullshit. The three years I spent at Oxford studying History were invaluable from an educational perspective, equipping me with skills that allowed me to continue to develop further skills to succeed, and not just by talking well. The 10% is there and undeniable, though. To be a leader you have to have good rhetoric, and that's drilled into you from day one. But there's no denying that you also have to learn when you have to. There's not much mention of the lonely and stressful hours spent in libraries preparing for those tutorials where I had nowhere to hide and a lot of face to lose with a whithering glare from an academic that had better things to do than compensate for my youthful indolence. You don't get that from lectures.
